This recipe is based on a traditional Tibetan recipe known as Momo.I have created this recipe using lean pork and omitted the covering made of plain flour, in order to make it suitable for those with a wheat allergy/intolerace.Small balls (koftas) are made with the minced pork and steamed.It has ravishing flavours.

Method

Put the mince in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients.Mix well and chill for 30 minutes.Shape the mixture into small balls (koftas) about the size of a walnut.You should have about 8 balls.Dip your hands in cold water from time to time to stop the meat paste sticking to your fingers.

Put the meatballs into a steamer and cook for 15-20 minutes.If you do not have a steamer, put the meatballs on a plate and place on a rack.Cover the pan and steam as above.Remove from the heat and serve hot or cold with a fresh tomato or tamarind chutney.
